Deeply rooted connection to Nature
Artist Statement
I am an interdisciplinary artist and herbalist. My art practice is interwoven between these modalities and is based in mindfulness that fosters a deeply rooted connection to nature. My work plays on the ephemeral and is created in a flow state.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts with a minor in Social Practice and Community Engagement from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and have a background in social services. Community-building is at the heart of what I do. I’ve always been drawn to cultivating strong community connections and strive to do so creatively using the skills I developed while working in social services.
I help people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds ground their creativity through art, nature, and ritual—so they can create from a place of deep authenticity. The mediums I use depend on the intentions I have. Working in nature connected ways, my aim is to inspire others to connect deeper with nature in their own ways, be it through a creative process or simply by sitting with nature and paying attention to the nuances of the life that surrounds them.
My art practice has a unique combination of foraged and artist grade materials. My work is often experimental, and not always intended to be archival- it may change as it ages. I work in a variety of approaches, ranging from community engaged processes, painting, drawing, murals, sculpture, fiber arts, illustration, photography, and printmaking. Through group workshops, exhibitions, and artistic interventions, I offer space, tools, and guidance to bring your ideas to life. Come for the art, stay for the tea—and the connections that root you back to yourself and your community. Like nature itself, my work is ever-evolving.
